#51-100 OFFENSE

Breaking down some of the top QB's in the #51-100 range, we see a handful of athletes with the potential of jumping up the board quickly. [player_tooltip player_id='1615861' first='Sawyer' last='Hayes'] had a successful freshman year at Gig Harbor and will have high expectations this season with the Tides going 6-4 in 2025. 

6-3 210-pound [player_tooltip player_id='2152682' first='Sullivan' last='Sandusky'] of Lewis & Clark made a nice jump up the rankings board with the Tigers having a solid group of young perimeter players returning in the Greater Spokane League. 

[player_tooltip player_id='1339252' first='Colton' last='Stiles'] of Mount Si could climb this list quickly and be one of Washington's best quarterbacks. His team in general should be much improved with multiple high profile D1 guys leading the D. His cousin over at Eastlake [player_tooltip player_id='1339195' first='Oliver' last='Stiles'] is another one watch, with Brady Vandermeid being in the same class and projecting at backer but also doing a good job at QB for the Wolves. 

Coming up through the youth ranks [player_tooltip player_id='984864' first='Jordan' last='Meas'] of Eastside Catholic has always been one of the state's top QB's, but hasn't necessarily gotten the playing time with the emergence of [player_tooltip player_id='1340853' first='Luca' last='Villasenor'] last season. 

[player_tooltip player_id='2154114' first='Lincoln' last='Heinrich'] is another guy who everyone should know about, helping the Blue Devils to the playoffs for the first time in a decade last year. The sophomore set the single season completions record, hitting on 62% of his passes for close to 1900 yards and 16 TD's/13 INTs. 

At RB [player_tooltip player_id='2042096' first='Mylez' last='Welch'] is one of the best players in Washington, rushing 143 times for 1,044 yards (7.3 ypc) and 13 TDs as a sophomore. Bothell has traditionally been one of the better programs in the state, and we will find out quickly if they are legit this year, opening the season in Hawaii, followed by games against Lake Stevens and Glacier Peak. 

[player_tooltip player_id='1219715' first='Kian' last='Krueger'] had a nice sophomore year at Prairie, averaging 9.25 yards per carry with 6 TD's, before making the move to perennial power Camas. He's a good-looking athlete who will split time with top 27' back [player_tooltip player_id='635258' first='Thor' last='Brody']. [player_tooltip player_id='1906007' first='Toby' last='Thornburg'], out of University HS in Spokane, is another one to watch after a phenomenal 10^th grade season that saw him go for 1,089 yards and 9 TD's, earning 2^nd team all-league honors. 

[player_tooltip player_id='987104' first='Malcolm' last='Akuffo'] of Puyallup and [player_tooltip player_id='2213886' first='Kalama' last='Roberson'] of Walla Walla are two other top backs who have a chance to play collegiately at a high level with continued progression. The 5-10 228-pound Akuffo is a big bruising back who gives the 4A title favorite Vikings an almost unstoppable force when close to the goal line. He carried 38 times for 287 yards and 8 TD's last year, averaging 7.6 yards per carry.

Roberson had a breakout sophomore year and offseason where he excelled at multiple collegiate camps, including the Northwest Showcase at WOU, the largest event on the west coast. You could very well consider him one of the top two-way athletes in Washington, with 95 touches for 658 total yards and 6 TDs last year. Defensively he was outstanding as well making 52 tackles, with 7 TFL's, and 4 sacks as a weak side LB. 

[player_tooltip player_id='1615867' first='Kainoa' last='Brown'] could set some Mercer Island all-time records before he's done going for close to 1300 yards and 14 touchdowns over the last two seasons. 

Last but not least, Prosser HS, who features one of the best combos statewide in [player_tooltip player_id='2117975' first='Autry' last='Hoefer'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1615888' first='Brody' last='Buxton']. The community and program have to be excited with each having two years left. Both have impressive film with Hoefer going for close to 700 yards and 10 TD's and Buxton being one of the most versatile players in Washington. He earned 1^st team honors at WR/KR & 2^nd team accolades at Safety. 

At the ATH/WR position there are multiple individuals with the potential of flying up the board. [player_tooltip player_id='985503' first='Trevon' last='Mayfield'] made the biggest jump out of any of them, also making the transfer from Kentwood to state title favorite Graham Kapowsin. He was a 1^st team all-league WR last year catching 33 passes for 917 total yards and 9 TD's. Basketball standout [player_tooltip player_id='2166804' first='Jaxon' last='Turner'] of O'Dea is similar in size and also made a significant jump up the rankings board.

[player_tooltip player_id='2112968' first='Luke' last='Shaw'] out of Bellarmine Prep was a 1^st team all-league, 2^nd team all area WR, and will project as one of the top wide outs in the state for his class. [player_tooltip player_id='1743630' first='Stockton' last='Parrish'] is another athlete out of Southridge HS so versatile that it's hard to put him on one side of the ball or the other. Last year he was more of a contributor on D making 46 tackles with 2 INTs. 

Three other ranked individuals who we could hear a lot about out of SW Washington include [player_tooltip player_id='1663299' first='Jack' last='Uhlir'] out of Camas, who had 33 touches (27 rush, 6 receptions) last year for the Papermakers. [player_tooltip player_id='2113038' first='DJ' last='Wilford'] was unreal, making 78 catches for 742 yards and 6 TD's for a Mountain View team that didn't win a game. He makes the move to Evergreen HS. 6-3 WR [player_tooltip player_id='1815805' first='Cruz' last='Asay'] of Prairie is also a big target to keep an eye on. He has the size and all of the intangibles. 

In closing a few of the noteworthy O lineman who are ranked include [player_tooltip player_id='2113039' first='Gabriel' last='Magda'] of Evergreen HS and [player_tooltip player_id='2129055' first='Malakhai' last='Fatu'] from Skyview, both out of the GSHL. Magda had a solid all conference season as a sophomore and Fatu possesses the necessary to project with continued progression.
